Euharlee Council Delays Data Center Vote Amid Strict New Requirements
What happened
Christian Hatch of Williamson & Co. presented the city’s most recent audit findings, which showed the city received an unmodified audit opinion for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Separately, the Euharlee City Council delayed a vote on a proposed data center ordinance until November 3. The ordinance now requires potential data centers to have a decommissioning plan, use a public water supply, and perform an environmental impact assessment.

Why it matters
The council's decision to delay the vote allows for further public input on the complex ordinance. The new requirements impose specific infrastructure and operational costs on any data center seeking approval in the city.
